Background

Springfield Catholic High School was established in 1916 as St. Agnes High School to serve the families of St. Agnes Parish. In 1957, it became a regional high school serving parishes all around Springfield, including St. Agnes Cathedral and School, St. Joseph Parish and school, Immaculate Conception Parish and School, St. Elizabeth Anne Seton Parish and School, Holy Trinity Parish, and Sacred Heart Parish. The school was renamed Springfield Catholic in 1974 and relocated to its present location in 1986. The school was recently named one of the top 50 catholic high schools in the nation. Generous donations gathered by funding campaigns helped to replace facilities and remodel a portion of the school. [1]
